The newly-launched Travelport Mobile Agent, developed in partnership with TTS-Travel Technology & Solutions, must be the first GDS product to have its very own music video. 

Lisbon-based TTS, an active member of the Travelport Developer Network, screened the video at the Travelport Customer & Partner Conference in Bali last week.

The catchy song, “Now I have my GDS”, was written by TTS’ product marketing manager Susana Goncalves.

Said TTS in its release of the video, “We intend to reach to all travel agents around the world, to bring to their awareness the benefits of Travelport Mobile Agent. That is why the music has highlights the changes in a travel agent’s life after he starts using Travelport Mobile Agent.”

It certainly got the audience’s feet tapping. The music video is a refreshing change from the usual product presentation videos and Rui Figueiredo, COO @ TTS, said they wanted to do something different and celebrate a travel agent’s life.
